How our wedding fish and chip van works in Heath Park
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Whether it’s garden and marquee receptions and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In Heath Park, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Heath Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. In Heath Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
